Really surprised it's just one application machine I thought it's some microservices thing. I thought one machine would crumble under load. Thanks for answering though.

Modern servers are absolute beasts if you don't bog them down with serialization overhead and network hops between services.

With efficient code in .NET, a single machine can handle such kind of load without breaking a sweat. I actually sleep better knowing there are fewer moving parts to fail!
